If you're not looking to spend oodles of $$$$ at the Mandarin Oriental hotel, this is seriously your next best option at a fraction of the cost!

PROS - Airy, light tones, impeccably clean and furnished with everything you need (TV/ SUPERFAST WIFI/ QUALITY KITCHEN SUPPLIES AND WARES/WASHING MACHINE) in a brand new building with the best pool and gym that you will come across anywhere in Bangkok. Great neighborhood restaurants within walking distance, a coffee bar right outside the building which trumps Starbucks in price and atmosphere. THe MRT (Lad phrao) is less than a 5 minute walk away on a straight road. The hosts are incredibly friendly and professional, responding within minutes to any specific queries you may have.

Deserving of comparison to any 5 star luxury hotel property(again, at probably 1/4th the price) while still feeling homely!
